Here's the staples which makes me reframe about "saving" money when it comes to quality food



GO FOR ORGANIC MILK AND DAIRIES

"Standard ice cream usually comes from cows fed a steady (and unnatural) diet of genetically engineered corn, soy, and even ANTIBIOTICS and HORMONES linked to certain cancers. ORGANIC DAIRIES ban all of these, and their cows are required to eat a more natural diet featuring organic grasses and hay. This, in turn, creates milk higher in a heart-protecting fat called conjugated linoleic acid, or CLA."


Eggs from Happier Hens

"Did you know that more than 90 percent of the eggs produced in this country come from hens crammed into tiny cages and given feed loaded with antibiotics...
Farmer's markets and buy-direct-from-a-farmer systems, such as community-supported agriculture (CSA) programs, are luring more and more customers in for fresh produce sales. But shoppers want to stick with the sustainable farming theme year-round now, too, even opting for organic in the frozen fruit and vegetables aisle."


CHICKENS THAT DON'T EAT CHICKENS

Industrial chicken production is causing many Americans to lose their appetites. Last year, organic chicken saw a nearly 20 percent increase in sales. As news reports of factory farms feeding their chickens food laced with chemicals, heavy metals, pharmaceuticals, and even parts of other chickens grow more common, the U.S. public is shifting toward a more sustainable source.
